I've been upgraded from Office 2010 (32 bit) to Office 2016 (64 bit) so I'm checking each application is working as expected. First question is about Word 2016 (64 bit)...
If I look in Options | Advanced | Add-Ins I can see that the 'Acrobat PDFmaker Office COM Addin' is located in the 'C:\...Office\x64\' folder and if I choose to 'Manage COM Add-Ins' I can see that the Add-In is listed as available and that it is ticked and that load behaviour is Load at Startup but I despite restarting I don't get the 'Acrobat' tab on the Ribbon.
Any suggestions as to how to reveal that tab?
Thanks,
Ken

Re: Word 2016 not displaying Acrobat tab in Ribbon
Are you sure that PDFMaker works with the 64 bit version of Word? I have Word 2016 32 bit with Windows 64 bit and it all works fine, including the ACROBAT tool bar menu.
Why are you using the 64 bit version of Office? I have heard of many issues with it, and never seen anyone who really needed it.

Because our IT people installed it, despite me mentioning that I thought it was likely to break things.StuartR wrote:Why are you using the 64 bit version of Office?

I would try getting them to remove 64 bit office and install the 32 bit version.
Alternatively you could check to see if there is a patch for your version of Acrobat (Here's a link for a patch for Acrobat X)

Re: Word 2016 not displaying Acrobat tab in Ribbon
According to Incompatibilities between Office programs and Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin, PDFMaker version 11.0.16 and later should work with 64-bit Office 2016.
See Missing Adobe Acrobat tab even when add-in is enabled in Office 2016 apps.
By the way, I would STRONGLY insist on getting 32-bit Office. You're likely to run into all kinds of compatibility problems and very few advantages with the 64-bit version.

I did try to get them to install the 32 bit version but they didn't listen. Now that I've got problems they might listen but I'm not holding my breath.HansV wrote:By the way, I would STRONGLY insist on getting 32-bit Office...
